Hello Falcowe,
thanks for your reply.
These are the characteristics of my computer:
• iMac 27" 2020
• Intel i9-10910 3.6 GHz 10-core
• 128 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 RAM (~35 GB free RAM during project running)
• Internal NVMe SSD with both OS, applications and libraries samples
• DAW tested: Cubase 11 Pro and Studio One 5.3 Pro
• Sample rate: 44100
• Bit depth: 32 float
These are VE Pro 7 settings:
• 7 running instances on
• 3 threads per instance
• 23 MIDI ports per instance
• 8 audio outputs per instance
• 4 audio inputs per instance
• MIR Pro latency: 1024
• MIR Pro IR cache: 2 GB
I tried using a different computer (laptop) with lower specs but the issue is still there.
I have installed a third-party CPU monitor application and the strange thing is that the usage indicator of each virtual thread is always incredibly low, but the fan keep spinning like crazy and macOS internal activity indicator application shows the posted numbers (~300% idle - ~600% playback).
Looking at my computer specs it should not have those kind of problems, and it should not have as much thermal throttling since the the CPU usage never reaches full cores 100%.
I noticed that the CPU frequency is always around ~4.4GHz, could be that the culprit?
